I am really tempted by National Beheading Day but since I recall that one was nominated and won last year I will try something a little different. I will go with Talk Like a Pirate Day
Mod
I like your nom tho!! We could have many many books of that sort!
Oh, I'm loving "Ask A Stupid Question Day"
I nominate "Fight Procrastination Day" cuz then we could nominate a book we keep putting off reading.
Mod
Babs, that would be funny to see what we can come up with!

I read this many years ago and loved it and I know that the main character is far from being lazy!
For Cat 3 I will nominate The Boleyn Inheritance by Philippa GregoryBecause since reading 'The Other Boleyn Girl' with this group I have been wanting to read that, but kept procrastinating on it. And the Boleyn's themselves certainly were not procrastinators.
Cat 1ChristyCat 2 [book:Bloody Jack: Being an Account of the Curious Adventures of Mary "Jacky" Faber, Ship's Boy|29

If you want to still nominate...you have a few more hours...
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell for cat. 3Because I got a great deal on the hardcover version three years ago and haven't cracked it open yet. I just keep watching it show up in group reads for other groups, lists, and people's reviews.
Mod
I do not see one of the nominated books on the poll list. Becasue it was the book I was thinking of voting for. For Cat. 2 someone nominated "Pirate Latituds"

Awesome choices! I've been wanting to read jonathan strange & mr norrell forever. We'll see what I can manage this month!
Mod
So I have Jonathan Strange, and have just barely started it. I'm also picking up The Pirate's Daughter from the library today. Since I have a few more weeks before my job starts, maybe I can actually be on time this month!
